Hi! My name is Katherine Ellen Foley, and I am incredibly curious. I hope you are, too!
I’m a science and health reporter, currently writing for Quartz (qz.com). My job is to bring readers science and health stories with all the facts they need to know. But I always struggle to kill my darlings—all those extra things I learn while reporting that don’t make the final draft.
In June 2017, I created Scrap Facts. Each week, I write up and send out the best of what I learned on the job (or out and about). Most of these tidbits will be about medical sciences, medical history, physiology, animal news, environmental science, and occasionally space.
I’m moving this newsletter over from Tinyletter. Archives of previous Scrap Facts are available here. For now, this newsletter is free to anyone and everyone—subscribe and share away!
Curious about me? You can check out my personal page here, my author page with Quartz here, my Twitter here, and Instagram here.
